 Important safety instructions. Before operating this oven,

please read these instructions carefully and keep for future

reference.

 Warning! The appliance should be inspected for damage

to the door seals and door seal areas and if these areas

are damaged the appliance should not be operated until

it has been repaired by a service technician trained by the

manufacturer.

 Warning! Do not attempt to tamper with or make any

adjustments or repairs to the door, control panel housing,

safety interlock switches or any other part of the oven.

Do not remove the outer panel from the oven which gives

protection against exposure to microwave energy. Repairs

should only be by a qualiﬁed service person.

 Warning! Liquids and other foods must not be heated in

sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

 Warning! Do not place this oven near an electric or gas

cooker range.

 Warning! Only allow children to use the oven without

supervision when adequate instructions have been given

so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and

understands the hazards of improper use.

 Warning! When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and

beverages in your oven, overheating the liquid beyond

boiling point can occur without evidence of bubbling. This

could result in a sudden boil over of the hot liquid.

 Warning! The contents of feeding bottles and baby food

jars are to be stirred or shaken. The temperature has to be

checked before consumption to avoid burns.

 This appliance can be used by children aged from

sensory and mental capabilities or lack of experience and

knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction

by a person responsible for their safety concerning the

use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the

hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by

children without supervision. Keep the appliance and its

cord out of reach of children less than 8 years.

 When this oven is installed, it should be easy to isolate

the appliance from the electricity supply by pulling out the

plug or operating a circuit breaker.

 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by

the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualiﬁed

person in order to avoid a hazard.

For Countertop use:

 Allow 15 cm of space on the top of the oven, 10 cm at

the back, and 5 cm on both sides. If one side of the oven

is placed ﬂush to wall, the other side or top must not be

blocked. Do not remove feet.

 When heating food in plastic or paper containers, check

the oven frequently as these types of containers ignite if

overheated.

 If smoke is emitted or a ﬁre occurs in the oven, press

Stop/Cancel button and leave the door closed in order to

stiﬂe any ﬂames. Disconnect the power cord, or shut off

power at fuse or circuit breaker panel.

 Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled

eggs by MICROWAVE. Pressure may build up and the eggs

may explode, even after the microwave heating has ended.

 Clean the inside of the oven, door seals and door seal

areas regularly. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere

to the oven walls, door seals and door seal areas wipe off

with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if they get

very dirty. The use of harsh detergent or abrasive is not

recommended.

 DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS.

 Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could

lead to deterioration of surfaces that could affect the life of

the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

too long. We do not recommend heating foods low in

moisture such as popcorn or poppodums. Drying of food,

newspapers or clothing and heating of warming pads,

slippers, sponges, damp cloth, wheat bags, hot water

bottles and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or ﬁre.

Questions and answers

Q: Why won’t my oven turn on?

A: When the oven does not turn on,

check the following:

1. Is the oven plugged in securely?

Remove the plug from the outlet,

wait 10 seconds and reinsert.

2. Check the circuit breaker and the

fuse.

Reset the circuit breaker or replace

the fuse if it is tripped or blown.

3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all

right, plug another appliance into the

outlet. If the other appliance works,

there probably is a problem with the

oven. If the other appliance does not

work, there probably is a problem

with the outlet.

If it seems that there is a problem

with the oven, contact an authorised

Service Centre.

Q: My oven causes interference with my TV.

Is this normal?

A: Some radio and TV interference

might occur when you cook with

the oven. This interference is similar

to the interference caused by small

appliances such as mixers, vacuums,

blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate

a problem with your oven.

Q: The oven won’t accept my program. Why?

A: The oven is designed not to accept

an incorrect program. For example,

the oven will not accept a fourth

stage.

Q: Sometimes warm air comes from the oven

vents. Why?

A: The heat given off from the cooking

food warms the air in the oven cavity.

This warmed air is carried out of the

oven by the air ﬂow pattern in the

oven. There are no microwaves in

the air. The oven vents should never

be blocked during cooking.

Q: Can I use a conventional oven

thermometer in the oven?

A: The metal in some thermometers

may cause arcing in your oven and

should not be used.

Care of your oven

1. Turn the oven off before cleaning.

2. Clean the inside of the oven, door

seals and door seal areas regularly.

When food splatters or spilled liquids

adhere to the oven walls, door seals

and door seal areas wipe off with a

damp cloth. Mild detergent may be

used if they get very dirty. The use

of harsh detergent or abrasive is not

recommended.

DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN

CLEANERS.

3. Do not use harsh, abrasive cleaners

or sharp metal scrapers to clean

the oven door glass since they can

scratch the surface, which may

result in shattering of the glass.

4. The outside oven surface should

be cleaned with a damp cloth. To

prevent damage to the operating

parts inside the oven, water should

not be allowed to seep into the

ventilation openings.

5. If the Control Panel becomes dirty,

clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not

use harsh detergents or abrasives

on the Control Panel. When cleaning

the Control Panel leave the oven

door open to prevent the oven

from accidentally turning on. After

cleaning touch STOP/CANCEL

button to clear display window.

6. If steam accumulates inside or

around the outside of the oven door,

wipe with a soft cloth. This may

occur when the oven is operated

under high humidity conditions and

in no way indicates a malfunction of

the unit.

7. It is occasionally necessary to

remove the glass tray for cleaning.

Wash the tray in warm soapy water

or in a dishwasher.

8. The roller ring and oven cavity ﬂoor

should be cleaned regularly to avoid

excessive noise. Simply wipe the

bottom surface of the oven with

mild detergent and hot water then

dry with a clean cloth. The roller ring

may be washed in mild soapy water.

Cooking vapours collect during

repeated use but in no way affects

the bottom surface or roller ring

wheels. After removing the roller ring

from the cavity ﬂoor for cleaning,

be sure to replace it in the proper

position.

9. A steam cleaner is not to be used for

cleaning.

10. This oven should only be serviced by

qualiﬁed personnel. For maintenance

and repair of the oven contact the

nearest authorised dealer.

11. Failure to maintain the oven in

a clean condition could lead to

deterioration of surfaces that could

affect the life of the appliance and

possibly result in a hazardous

situation.

12. Keep air vents clean at all times.

Check that no dust or other material

is blocking any of the air vents on

the top, bottom or rear of the oven. If

air vents become blocked this could

cause overheating which would

affect the operation of the oven

and possibly result in a hazardous

situation.
